NCP Nominees Limited is one of at least fourteen NCP Group companies entering creditors' voluntary liquidation simultaneously, with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP partners Victoria Hatton and Mark James Tobias Banfield appointed joint liquidators on 12 May 2026.
A creditors' voluntary liquidation is an insolvent winding-up resolved by the company's members at the request of its directors, without a court order. Members of NCP Nominees passed both a special resolution and an ordinary resolution at a general meeting on 12 May 2026, agreeing that the company could not, by reason of its liabilities, continue its business.
The company
NCP Nominees Limited was incorporated on 23 October 2000, originally under the name National Car Parks Birmingham Limited, which it held until November 2004. Its registered office is at The Bailey, 16 Old Bailey, London EC4M 7EG, though Companies House records show a correspondence address at 8th Floor Central Square, 29 Wellington Street, Leeds LS1 4DL. The company is classified under SIC code 74990, covering non-trading activities and other business support services not elsewhere classified. Its last filed accounts, made up to 30 September 2024, were submitted as dormant accounts.
The wider NCP Group liquidation
PwC's dedicated case page lists NCP Nominees alongside NCP Empire No. 1 Limited, NCP Empire No. 3 Limited, NCP Empire No. 4 Limited, Europarks U.K. Limited, George Watt Limited, Park And Ride Limited, Stepbranch Limited, Regent Lion Properties Limited, John Matthews Properties Limited, Blaxmill (Thirty-Eight) Limited, Blaxmill (Twenty-Five) Limited, Blaxmill (Twenty-Six) Limited, and several further entities including Boardpost, Pointeuro III and MEIF II Cp SPV 1 Limited. The simultaneous CVL resolutions across the group point to a structured wind-down rather than a single isolated failure.
NCP, the National Car Parks brand, operates one of the UK's largest networks of car parks. The CVL process at the nominee and holding-company level is consistent with a group restructuring that leaves the operating car park business under separate ownership while dormant and non-trading entities are formally closed.
The joint liquidators
Victoria Hatton, who holds IP number 28170, is based at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP's Leeds office at Central Square, 29 Wellington Street, Leeds LS1 4DL. Banfield, who holds IP number 23350, is based at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP's London office at 7 More London Riverside, London SE1 2RT. Both are joint liquidators, meaning either can act alone unless the terms of appointment specify otherwise.

The directors
The resolution was signed by H Nagahiro, identified in the Gazette notice as a director. Companies House records confirm Hideyuki Nagahiro was appointed director on 14 March 2024 and remains in post. Masashi Sada, appointed as a director on 15 July 2025, is also a current director. Both are resident in the United Kingdom.
Several former directors served the company across its more than two decades of existence. Robert Charles England served as a director from December 2021 until October 2025. Hiroyasu Matsui held the role from October 2018 until July 2025. Jonathan Paul Scott served from February 2010 until October 2021. Earlier directors included Joanne Lesley Cooper, who resigned in October 2018, and Jonathan Paul Walbridge, who resigned in April 2011. Aaron Campbell served as company secretary from February 2009 until August 2020.
Combined Nominees Limited and Combined Secretarial Services Limited each held corporate nominee roles at incorporation on 23 October 2000 and resigned the same day, a standard incorporation arrangement.
Secured charges
No secured charges are registered against NCP Nominees Limited at Companies House.
Context
Holding and nominee entities within large property and infrastructure groups are commonly wound down once their functional purpose has ended. For a dormant company last filing accounts to September 2024, the CVL route is the standard mechanism for a formal close where the entity cannot meet its liabilities from its own resources. The Gazette notice confirms the members were satisfied on that point before passing the resolutions.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Ncp Nominees Limited?
In a creditors' voluntary liquidation you are an unsecured creditor unless you hold a registered charge or retention of title. The liquidators will write to known creditors with a proof-of-debt form. A statement of affairs prepared by the directors and the chair of the creditors' decision procedure should be available on request. Read more about proof of debt and where you sit in the creditor hierarchy.
Did you work at Ncp Nominees Limited?
In a CVL, employees are typically dismissed at or shortly after the liquidator's appointment. Wages owed up to a statutory cap, holiday pay, notice pay and redundancy may be claimable from the Redundancy Payments Service. The liquidators will normally provide RP1 case-reference numbers to the affected staff. See gov.uk: your rights if your employer is insolvent.
Do you hold a deposit, gift card or undelivered order from Ncp Nominees Limited?
Customers with paid-but-undelivered orders, gift cards or deposits rank as unsecured creditors in the liquidation. Where you paid by credit card and the amount was over £100, Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 may let you claim from the card issuer for breach of contract or misrepresentation by the supplier; the rules apply per item, not per transaction, and the card must be a regulated credit card. Debit-card payments may be recoverable via chargeback.
Are you a director of a company connected to Ncp Nominees Limited?
Section 216 of the Insolvency Act 1986 applies the moment the company enters liquidation. If you intend to be involved in another company using the same or a similar name within five years, you must rely on one of the three statutory exceptions and file the relevant notice. Acting in breach is a criminal offence and exposes you to personal liability for the successor's debts.
